1 Peter 1v1-2

Heavenly father
give us grace to be obedient to Jesus Christ today so that we may live in grace and peace

1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ,
to the chosen ones who are living as foreigners in the Dispersion
in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, 
² according to the foreknowledge of God the Father,
in sanctification of the Spirit,
that you may obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with his blood:
Grace to you and peace be multiplied.
